LBA
A heater short indicates that the heater remains ON even when the control output from the Temperature
Controller is OFF because the SSR has failed or for any other reason.
EU stands for Engineering Unit. EU is used as the minimum unit for engineering units such as C, m, and g.
The size of EU varies according to the Input Type.
For example, when the input temperature setting range is 200+1300C, 1 EU is 1C, and when the input
temperature setting range is 20.0+500.0C, 1 EU is 0.1C.
For analog inputs, the size of EU varies according to the decimal point position of the scaling setting, and 1 EU
becomes the minimum scaling unit.

Series B Controllers
Series B Upgrades
Series B controllers have the following upgrades.
900-TC8x
Although the upgraded controllers are compatible with the previous
controllers, terminal arrangements have been changed. Terminal sizes and
panel mounting depth have not been changed.
Other changes are outlined in the following tables. Refer to the relevant pages
in the manual for details.
900-TC16x
The upgraded controllers are basically compatible with the previous
controllers. Terminal arrangements, terminal sizes, and panel mounting depth
have not been changed.
900-TC32x
Model numbers have changed accompanying the introduction of universal
input capability. The default setting of the input type parameter of the
900-TC32x (models with resistance thermometers) has been changed from a
Pt100 resistance thermometer to a K thermocouple. Make sure the setting of
the input type parameter agrees with the temperature sensor that is being used.
The terminal block has also been changed, which means the wiring methods
and terminal arrangement are different.

Main Functions
The following introduces the main functions of the Bulletin 900-TC8,
900-TC16, and 900-TC32 temperature controllers. For details on each
function and how to use them, refer to Chapter 3 and onward.
Input Sensor Types The following input sensors can be connected
for temperature input:
Thermocouple: K, J, T, E, L, U, N, R, S, B, W, PL11
Infrared non-contact temperature sensor type: Type K thermocouple
(1070XC), K (60120XC), K (115165XC), K (160260XC)
Platinum resistance thermometer: Pt100, JPt100
Analog millivolt input: 050 mV
High level analog inputs:
Current input:420 mA DC, 0 to 20 mA DC
Voltage input:15V DC, 05V DC, 010V DC
Control Output Control output is either an On/Off
electro-mechanical relay (EMR) ON/OFF triac output (AC only),
On/Off voltage (input to solid-state relay) output, or analog current
(DC: 4...20 mA or 020 mA) output , Refer to Table 1.B or 1.D.
Triac Relay Outputs use semiconductors for switching when
closing andopening the AC voltage circuit, thereby eliminating relay
chatter and arcing and improving durability versus an EMR. However, if
high levels of noise or surge are imposed between the output terminals,
short-circuit faults may occasionally occur. If the triac output becomes
permanently shorted, there is the danger of fire due to overheating of
the heater element. To avoid this danger, design safety into the system,
including measures to prevent excessive temperature rise and fire. Take
countermeasures such as installing a surge absorber. As an additional
safety measure, provide error detection in the control loop. Use the
Loop Break Alarm (LBA) and Heater Short Alarm (HSA) that are
provided for Bulletin 900 temperature controllers.
The Bulletin 900-TC32 Temperature Controller does not support this function

Always connect an AC load to the triac relay output. The output will not
turn OFF if a DC load is connected.
Alarms Alarms are supported on the Bulletin 900 temperature
controllers. You can configure the alarm type and alarm value, or Upper
and Lower-Limit alarms.
If necessary, a more comprehensive alarm function can be achieved by
configuring the Standby Sequence, Alarm Hysteresis, Close in
Alarm/Open in Alarm and Alarm Latch ON/OFF parameters.
When the input error output is configured to ON, Alarm Output 1
turns ON when an input error occurs.
Control Adjustment Optimum PID constants can be configured
easily by using the AT (Auto-Tuning) and ST (Self-Tuning) parameters.
Event Input When the optional event input unit is mounted, the
following functions can be achieved by event input:
Multiple set point selection (multi-SP max. 4 points), RUN/STOP
mode change switching between automatic and manual operation, and
starting/stopping the simple program. Refer to Table 1.C and 1.E.
HBA and HS Alarms The Heater Burnout Alarm (HBA) and
Heater Short Alarm (HSA) and heater overcurrent function is
supported by selecting the appropriate controller (900-TC8) or option
module (900-TC16). Refer to Table 1.B for the TC8 and Table 1.E for
the TC16.
Communications Function Personal computer (PC)
communicationsare supported when the option communications unit is
mounted on the temperature controller. Refer to Table 1.C and 1.E.
Note: The PC must have 900BuilderLite software installed.
Note: 900-TC protocol is an integrated general-purpose serial
communications protocol.
Note: Modbus is a communications control method conforming to the RTU.
Mode of Modicon Inc.'s Modbus Protocol.
Note: The 900-TC16 and 900-TC32 do not support the RS-232C interface.

Voltage (PNP)
Always connect an AC load to a Triac (AC) relay output. The output will
not turn OFF if a DC load is connected.
A voltage output (control output) is not electrically isolated from the
internal circuits. Therefore, when using a grounded thermocouple, do
not connect any of the control output terminals to earth ground. If
control output terminals are connected to ground, errors will occur in
the measured temperature values as a result of ground loop leakage
current. With 900-TC8, however, voltage output (Control Output 2) is
functionally isolated from the internal circuits.
Control Output 2 of the 900-TC16 is a voltage output (SSR driver) only,
and outputs across terminals 11(+) and 12(-), or 14(+) and 15(-).
Control outputs 1 and 2 (voltage outputs) are not isolated.
Triac (AC) relay outputs use semiconductors for switching when closing
and opening the circuit, thereby eliminating relay chatter and arcing and
improving durability compared to an electro-mechanical relay output.
However, if high levels of electrical noise or surge are imposed between
the output terminals, short-circuit faults may occasionally occur. If the
output becomes permanently shorted, there is the danger of fire due to
overheating of the heater. Design safety into the system, including
measures to prevent excessive temperature rise and fire. Take
countermeasures such as installing a surge absorber. As an additional
safety measure, provide error detection in the control loop. (Use the
Loop Burnout Alarm (LBA) and Heater Short Alarm (HSA) that are
provided for the Bulletin 900.)

Overview
The Bulletin 900 Controller supports two control methods: (1) 2-PID control
and (2) ON/OFF control. The control method is selected by the PID
ON/OFF parameter in the Initial Setting function group. When this
parameter is configured to pid, 2-PID control is set, and when configured to
onof, ON/OFF control is set.
Note: The default is ON/OFF control.
2-PID Control
Controller configured/selected P, I, and D (Proportional, Integral, and
Derivative) control parameters are set by the AT (Auto-Tuning) and ST
(Self-Tuning) parameters, or by manual (user) setup. For manual (user) PID
control, set the PID constants in the Proportional Band (P), Integral Time (I),
and Derivative Time (D) parameters. For more details refer to page 3-30.
ON/OFF Control
In the ON/OFF control method, the control output (MV) is turned ON when
the process value (measured temperature, flow, etc.) is lower than the current
set point, and the control output is turned OFF when the process value is
higher than the current set point. This is known as reverse operation. Direct
operation refers to control where the manipulated variable is increased
according to the increase in the process value. Refer to page 3-25 for more
details.
3-17
Control Period
The Control Period parameter is used in the PID control method and allows
you to adjust the minimum amount of time between ON cycles of the
ON/OFF output (MV). This is sometimes referred to as timed proportional
PID control.

orev
Direct operation refers to control where the manipulated variable (MV) is
increased according to the increase in the process value (PV). Alternatively,
reverse operation refers to control where the manipulated variable (MV) is
decreased according to the increase in the process value (refer to Figure 3.21).
Direct/reverse operation can be used in ON/OFF or PID control.

Direct operation
Reverse operation
For example, when the process value (PV) temperature is lower than the set
point (SP) temperature in a heating control system, the manipulated variable
(OUT1) increases (ON) by the difference between the PV and SP values.
Accordingly, this becomes reverse operation in a heating control system, or
alternatively, direct operation in a cooling control system.
Direct/reverse operation is set in the Direct/Reverse Operation parameter
(Initial Setting function group).
Note: The Direct/Reverse Operation parameter default is reverse operation.
EXAMPLE
Operation Procedure
In this example, the Input Type, Temperature Unit, Direct/Reverse Operation,
and Control Period (HEAT) parameters will be monitored.
The setup of parameters is as follows:
Input Type = 5: K thermocouple
Temperature Unit = c: C
Direct/Reverse Operation = or-r: reverse operation
Control Period (HEAT) = 20 seconds

Overview
In the reverse operation ON/OFF control method, the control output (MV)
turns OFF when the controlled temperature (PV) reaches the user-defined set
point. When the control output (MV) turns OFF, the controlled temperature
begins to fall and the control output turns ON again. This operation is
repeated at a certain point. At this time, how much the temperature must fall
before the control output turns ON again is determined by the Hysteresis
(HEAT) parameter. Also, how much the manipulated variable must be
adjusted in response to the increase or decrease in the process value is
determined by the Direct/Reverse Operation parameter.
3-26
Hysteresis
In the ON/OFF control method, hysteresis is used to provide a
margin/differential for switching the control output ON when the controlled
temperature moves away from the required set point. The Hysteresis
parameter is used to give stability to the output around the set point.
The hysteresis value for HEAT control output and COOL control output
functions are configured in the Hysteresis (HEAT) and Hysteresis (COOL)
parameter functions respectively. In standard heating or cooling control, the
HEAT Hysteresis setting is used as the hysteresis setting (Adjustment function
group) regardless of the control mode, heating control or cooling control.

Overview
When you configure the controller to execute Auto-Tuning, the optimum PID
constants for the current set point during program execution are
automatically configured by the controller forcibly changing the manipulated
variable (MV) to calculate the characteristics (called the limit cycle method) of
the control target.
Either 40% AT or 100% AT can be selected depending on the width of MV
variation in the limit cycle. In the AT Execute/Cancel parameter, specify
at-2 (100% AT) or at-1 (40% AT). To cancel AT, specify off (AT cancel).
Only 100% AT can be executed for heating and cooling control.
AT cannot be executed when control has stopped or during ON/OFF
control.
The results of AT are reflected in the Proportional Band (P), Integral Time
(I), and Derivative Time (D) parameters in the Adjustment function group.
The result of a controller AT cycle can be viewed/monitored from the
Proportional Band (P), Integral Time (I), and Derivative Time (D) parameters
in the Adjustment function group.

In this state, the measurement point is within the ST stable range.
In this state, the change width of the PV every 60 seconds is at the ST stable range or less.
New PID constants are not calculated by Self-Tuning (ST) for the currently

When Auto-Tuning (AT) or Self-Tuning (ST) is executed with Robust-Tuning
(RT) selected, PID constants are automatically configured by the controller
that make it difficult for control performance to degenerate even when control
object characteristics are frequently changing.
RT is configured in the Advanced Setting function group when the PID
control mode is selected.
The RT mode cannot be selected when an analog input is configured.
Selecting the RT mode in the following cases will help to prevent the
occurrence of hunting by the MV.
When the set point temperature is often changed and varies in a wide
range

RT Features
Even when hunting occurs for PID constants when AT or ST is
executed in normal mode, it is less likely to occur when AT or ST is
executed in RT mode.

Alarm Outputs
Alarm Types
The Bulletin 900-TC8 supports up to three alarm outputs, Bulletin 900-TC16
supports two alarm outputs, and Bulletin 900-TC32 supports one alarm
output..
The controller alarm output conditions are determined by the combination of
the selected Alarm Type, Alarm Value, Alarm Hysteresis, and Set Point (SP)
parameters.
Alarm types are configured independently for each alarm output using the
Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 Type parameters (Initial Setting function group).
Note: The default Set Value is 2: Upper-Limit (deviation).
Configure the alarm type and alarm output operation based on pre-defined
conditions using the Set Value number.

The change width (rate of change) for PV input values can be found in any
time period. Differences with previous values in each set period are calculated,
then an alarm is output if the result exceeds the alarm value. The PV rate of
change calculation period can be configured in units of 250 ms.
If a positive value is configured for the alarm value, the PV will operate as a
change rate alarm in the rising direction. If a negative value is configured, the
PV will operate as a change rate alarm in the falling direction.
Publication 900-UM007D-EN-E - January 2011
3-46
Precaution
If a shorter PV rate of change calculation period is configured, outputs for the
PV change rate alarm may repeatedly turn ON and OFF for a short period of
time. Therefore, it is recommended that the PV change rate alarm be used with
the alarm latch turned ON.

Heater burnout and heater overcurrent detection are executed by:
1. measuring heater current with an optional current transformer (single
phase) or
2. transformers (3 -phase) while the control output for heating is ON, and
HS detection is executed by measuring heater current while it is OFF.
For details, refer to the following table and figure below..

In the above diagram, heater power is considered to be ON (normal) if the heater current, measured by the
900-CTX current transformer, is greater than the heater burnout detection current during the Ton interval. If the
heater is burned out, the measured current decreases and falls below the heater burnout detection value. The
configured controller output is then activated as the Heater Burnout Alarm.
In the above diagram, heater power is considered to be OFF (normal) if the leakage current, measured by the
900-CTX current transformer, is less than the HS alarm current during the Toff interval. If the SSR output is
short-circuited, the measured current increases beyond the HS alarm value. The output is then activated as the
HS alarm.
In the above diagram, it is regarded as normal when the heater current is less than the heater overcurrent
detection current during the Ton period. Current is increased when excessive current flows to the heater,
causing the heater overcurrent detection value to be exceeded and an OC (heater overcurrent) alarm to be
output.

For controller models with HBA, HSA, and HOA alarms, an OR output
is established between the ALM 1 function and the HBA, HSA, and
HOA alarm. If the ALM1 function is to be used for HBA, HSA, and
HOA alarms only, set 0 as the ALM1 type and do not use ALM1.

To calculate the current for heater burnout when two or more heaters
are connected through the CT, use the heater current value when the
heater with the smallest current burns out. If all of the heaters have the
same current, use the value when any one of them burns out.
Make sure that the following conditions are satisfied:
When using a heater with a normal load current of less than 10.0 A:
(Current value at normal operation) (Current value at heater
burnout) 1 A
When the difference is less than 1 A, detection is unstable.
When using a heater with a normal load current of 10.0 A or more:
(Current value at normal operation) (Current value at heater
burnout) 2.5 A
When the difference is less than 2.5 A, detection is unstable.

Overview
The Input Shift parameter allows you to configure the controller to
compensate for possible deviation of the measured temperature (PV) to the
actual temperature at the source (control target). The controller supports two
types of input shifts, 1-point and 2-point. The input shift type is automatically
matched to the sensor currently selected by the Input Type parameter
(configured value See Table 3.C, List of Global Temperature (GT) Input
Types). There is no shift for analog inputs. Use scaling for fine adjustments.

Preparations
1. Set to the temperature range to match the input specifications of the
non-contact temperature sensor (refer to Table 3.C, List of Global
Temperature (GT) Input Types). Note: The non-contact infrared sensor is
supported only in thermocouple Input Type Bulletin 900-TCX
controllers. Refer to Table 1.B through Table 1.F.)
2. Prepare a thermometer (B) capable of measuring the temperature of the
control target (C) as shown in Figure 4.10 so that 1-point shift or
2-point shift can be carried out.

4. Although the input shift was carried out at two points, close to room
temperature (ambient temperature) and near to the set point, you may
want to consider selecting points close to each end of the sensor range
to improve accuracy across the full range of the sensor measurement
range.
Note: Before selecting these values, check that they will not damage the
control application, if applied.

Alarm Hysteresis
You can configure/program how much deviation (hysteresis) is allowed from
the alarm value before the alarm comes on and reset.
The hysteresis of alarm outputs when alarms are switched ON/OFF can be
set as follows:

Alarm hysteresis is independently set for each alarm output in the Alarm
Hysteresis 13 parameters (Advanced Setting function group).
Note: The default is 0.2 (C or F depending on your units selection) for
temperature inputs and 0.02% of full scale (FS) for analog inputs.
Restart
As mentioned above, the standby sequence is canceled after the first real
alarm clears. If desired, it can be restarted later by the Standby Sequence
parameter (Advanced Setting function group). For details, refer to page 5-72,
Standby Sequence Reset Method.
4-9
Alarm Latch
Alarm latch is a function where you can configure the alarm output once
turned ON to stay ON regardless of the process temperature.
The alarm latch function can be canceled by:
1. Turning the controller power OFF. Note, however, that it can also be
canceled by switching to the Initial Setting function group,
Communications Setting function group, Advanced Setting function
group, or Calibration function group.
2. Use the PF key (900-TC8).
3. Use an event input (900-TC8 and 900-TC16).

Overview
When an analog input sensor is selected, scaling to engineering units (e.g., lbs)
that match the application is possible.
Scaling is configured in the Scaling Upper-Limit, Scaling Lower-Limit, and
Decimal Point parameters (Initial Setting function group). These parameters
cannot be used when a temperature Input Type (e.g., RTD) is selected.
The Scaling Upper-Limit parameter allows you to configure the physical
quantity to be expressed by the Upper-Limit input value. The Scaling
Lower-Limit parameter sets the physical quantity to be expressed by the
Lower-Limit value. The Decimal Point parameter specifies the number of
digits to the right of the decimal point.
Figure 4.18 shows a scaling example of a 420 mA input, supported by
900-TC8 and 900-TC16. After scaling, the humidity sensor input can be
directly read from the controller as a percentage of humidity. However, the
display will not indicate%, only a value. The decimal point is configured one
digit to the right.

Overview
Several forms/modes of heating, cooling, or heating and cooling control can
be used with Bulletin 900 controllers. The heating and cooling control mode
operates when h-c: heating and cooling is selected in the Standard/Heating
and Cooling parameter (Initial Setting function group). To assign the function
of your outputs and alarms based on the control mode use the Control Output
X Assignment and Alarm Y Assignment parameters in the Advanced Settings
function group. Refer to the table below
The following functions are assigned to outputs in the initial status.

Overview
When the appropriate option unit (refer to Tables 1.C and 1.E) is installed,
discrete (ON/OFF) inputs can be wired to the Bulletin 900 to cause the
controller to perform several pre-defined/configurable tasks. These inputs are
generically called event inputs.
4-17
4-18
When using event inputs to switch the multi-SP, the event input
assignment display will not appear. Whether the set value and event
input assignments 1 and 2 will be displayed or hidden is shown in the
tables below.
Do not connect the contacts from the same switch to more than one
900-TC Controller.
Table 4.F

Multi-SP Uses Event Input Assignment 1

Two set points are set externally by using the Number of Multi-SP Uses
parameter
Switching is possible between two set points (0 and 1) by setting the
Number of Multi-SP Uses parameter to 1. The default setting is 1 and
does not need to be changed to switch between two set points. Set
points 0 and 1 are specified by the status of event input 1.

When you want to configure event inputs to change the controllers four
pre-set Set points, you must properly configure the Number of Multi-SP Uses
parameter. Two set points (0 or 1) can be selected when the Number of
Multi-SP Uses parameter is set to 1 (default). This setting need not be changed.
Set point 0 or 1 is specified by the ON/OFF state of Event
Input 1.
4-19
Multi-SP
Selecting Multi-SP by Event Input
Multi-SP by event input is a function for setting the value of set points 03 in
advance, and selecting these set points by a combination of Event Inputs 1 and
2.
Multi-SP selection from external (event) inputs can be used when the proper
option event input unit is mounted in the Bulletin 900 and the Number of
Multi-SP Uses parameter is set to 1 or 2 (refer to Tables 4.G and 4.H).

Application Considerations
If a change is made to the set point upper and/or lower-limit value with
the current set point outside the limiter range, the set point is forcibly
changed by the controller to the sensors upper SP limit or lower SP
limit value, whichever is closer.
When the Input Type or temperature units are changed, the set point
limiter is forcibly reset to that of the new sensor setting range.

display when the PV is within 15.0C of the set point, configure the PV
Color Change and PV Stable Band parameters.
PV Color Change = r-gr (Red to Green to Red)

Alarm Delays
Alarm Delays
For 900-TC8 and 900-TC16, ON and OFF timed delays can be configured for
the Alarm Outputs 1, 2, and 3. For 900-TC32, ON and OFF timed delays can
be configured for the Alarm Output 1.The ON and OFF delay for Alarm 1
operate only for the alarm process function. If Alarm Output 1 is configured
as an OR with other alarm functions (i.e., the Heater Burnout Alarm, HS
Alarm, or input error output alarm), the time delay feature will not function
for the other alarms. The ON and OFF delays for alarms 1, 2, and 3 also apply
to the individual SUB1, SUB2, and SUB3 indicators and to communications
status. The alarm ON delays will also function when power is turned ON or
when moving from the Initial Setting function group to Operation function
group (i.e., to software resets). All outputs will turn OFF and the OFF delays
will not function when moving to the Initial Setting function group or when an
alarm is output for an A/D converter error.

The alarm will not turn ON if the time that the alarm is ON is equal to

If an alarm turns OFF and then back ON during the ON delay time, the
time will be reset from the last time the alarm turns ON. Also, if an
alarm turns ON and then back OFF during the OFF delay time, the
time will be remeasured from the last time the alarm turns OFF.

If the control deviation is reduced in the area between 1 and 2 (i.e., the set

equal to the LBA Band, the Loop Break Alarm will remain OFF.
The process value is within the LBA Level between 3 and 4, and thus Loop
Break Alarm will not be detected. (The Loop Break Alarm will remain OFF.)
If the process value is outside the LBA Level between 4 and 5 and the control
deviation is not reduced by at least the LBA Band within the LBA Detection
Time, the Loop Break Alarm will turn ON.

If the control deviation is reduced in the area between 5 and 6 (i.e., the set

equal to the LBA Band, the Loop Break Alarm will turn OFF.
If the control deviation is reduced in the area between 6 and 7 (i.e., the set
point is approached) and the amount the control deviation is reduced is less
than the LBA Band, the Loop Break Alarm will turn ON.
If the LBA Detection Time, LBA Level, LBA Detection Band, and PID
settings are not appropriate, alarms may be detected inappropriately or
alarms may not be output when necessary.
Loop break alarms may be detected if unexpectedly large process
disturbances occur continuously and a large deviation does not decrease.
If a loop break occurs when the set point is near the ambient
temperature, the temperature deviation in a steady state may be less than
the LBA level, preventing detection of the loop break.
If the set point is so high or low that it cannot be reached even with a
saturated manipulated variable, a temperature deviation may remain
even in a steady state and a loop break may be detected.
Loop Break Detection in not possible if a fault occurs that causes an
increase in temperature while control is being applied to increase the
temperature (e.g., an SSR short-circuit fault).
Loop Break Detection in not possible if a fault occurs that causes a

Starting Method
Any of the following three methods can be used to start the simple program.
Setting the Program Start parameter to STRT.
For 900-TC8 & 900-TC16: Turning ON an event input. (The program
start must be assigned to an event input. Refer to the Note on page
4-68.)
Starting with an Operation Command using communications. (When
the program start is not assigned to an event input.)
Note: When an event input is used to start and reset the simple program,
writing is performed to EEPROM. Be sure to consider the write life (1
million writes) of the EEPROM in the system design. When the
program start is assigned to an event input, the Program Start
parameter will function as a monitor display, and the RSET/STRT
displays can be used to check when the event input has started or reset
the simple program. When this is done, the Program Start parameter
functions as a monitor display only and cannot be changed using key
operations. If the Program Pattern parameter is configured to OFF, the
event input assignment setting will be initialized to NONE.

Square Root Low-Cut Point parameter, the results of extracting the square
root will be 0.0%. If the PV input is lower than 0.0% or higher than 100.0%,
extraction of the square root will not be executed, so the result will be equal to

Conditions of Use: The control mode must be heating and cooling with the
2-PID control method configured.
Function: If the heating and cooling characteristics of the control target differ
greatly, preventing satisfactory control characteristics from being obtained by
the same PID parameters, adjust the proportional band (P) at the cooling
Control Output side by adding the cooling coefficient to balance control
between the heating and cooling sides (refer to Figure 4.26).

(cool) parameter. The Control Period (heat) parameter cannot be used.
When the heating control output is an analog output the control period
cannot be used.
When the heating and cooling control mode is selected, the Control
Period can be configured independently for the heating and cooling
outputs. Use the Control Period (heat) parameter to set the Control
Output 1 side control period, and use the Control Period (cool)
parameter to set the cooling control period.

Modes:
Constant: This mode displays orange, red, or green all the time.
Linked to Alarm 1: This mode switches the PV display color from red
to green when Alarm 1 turns ON or from green to red when Alarm 1
turns ON.
Linked to PV Stable Band: This mode switches the PV display color
between red outside the PV Stable Band and green within PV Stable
Band, or between green outside the PV stable band and red within PV
stable band. Set the PV stable band in the PV Stable Band parameter in
the Advanced Setting function group.
Note: The default of the PV is red (red).

PV Stable Band
Function: This parameter allows you to configure the PV Stable Band width
in C, F, or % full scale within which the PV display color is changed based on
your configuration of the PV Color Change parameter.
When the mode to link to the PV stable band is selected with the PV
Color Change parameter, the PV display color will change according to
whether the present value (PV) is lower than, within, or higher than the
PV stable band, as shown in the following figure.
There is a fixed hysteresis of 0.2 (C or F).

Error Displays
When an error occurs, the error contents are shown on the controllers No. 1
or No. 2 display.
This section describes how to check error codes on the display, and the actions
to be taken to remedy the problems.
s.err
Input Error
Meaning
The input value has exceeded the control range (refer to Note).
Note: Control Range
Resistance thermometer (RTD), thermocouple input:
Temperature setting Lower-Limit 20 C to temperature setting
Upper-Limit + 20 C (Temperature setting Lower-Limit 40 F to
temperature setting Upper-Limit +40 F)
Analog input: 5% to +105% of scaling range
Action
Check the wiring of inputs for incorrect wiring polarity for improper or
incorrect connections, and short-circuits and check the Input Type.
If no abnormality is found in the wiring and Input Type, turn the controller
power OFF then back ON again.
If the display remains the same, the Controller must be replaced. If the display
is restored, then the probable cause is electrical noise affecting the control
system. Check for electrical noise. Reroute sensor wires away from high
sources of electrical noise. Use shielded sensor wire and ground the shield at
one end.
Note: With an RTD type input a break in the A, B, or B1 line is regarded by
the controller as a disconnection.
6-1
6-2
Operation at Error
After an error occurs, the error is displayed and the alarm output
functions as if the Upper-Limit has been exceeded.
If you configure the Input Error Output parameter in the Advanced
Setting function group to ON, the Alarm 1 output turns ON whenever
an input error occurs.
An error message is displayed when the PV, PV/SP, or PV/MV is
displayed.
The control output turns OFF when the manual MV, MV at stop, or
MV at PV error is configured, the control output corresponds to the
configured value.
[[[[
]]]]
Meaning
This is not an error, but rather, it is displayed if the process value (sensor
input) exceeds the display range when the control range is larger than the
display range.
The display ranges are shown below (with decimal points omitted).
When less than 1,999
When more than 9,999

AD Converter Error
Meaning
There is an error in internal circuits.
Action
First, turn the controller power OFF then back ON again. If the display
remains the same, the Controller must be repaired. If the display is restored,

Memory Error
Meaning
The controllers internal memory operation is in error.
Action
First, turn the controller power OFF then back ON again. If the display
remains the same, the Controller must be repaired. If the display is restored,
then the probable cause is electrical noise affecting the control system. Check
for electrical noise. (Refer to Actions under the Input Error section on page 6-1.)
Operation at Error
Control Output and Alarm Output turn OFF. (Current output is approx.
0 mA).

Meaning
This error is displayed when the Heater Current value (current from CT)
exceeds 55.0 A.
Action
Control continues, allowing normal operation. The error message is displayed
when the following items are displayed:

Meaning
When a Heater Burnout (HBA), a Heater Short Alarm (HSA) or Heater
Overcurrent occurs, the No. 1 display in the applicable function group flashes.
Action
When either HBA, HSA, or Heater Overcurrent is detected, the HA indicator
lights and the No. 1 display flashes for the applicable Heater Current 1 Value
Monitor, Heater Current 2 Value Monitor, Leakage Current 1 Monitor, or
Leakage Current 1 Monitor parameters in the Operation function group and
Adjustment function group. Control continues, allowing normal operation if
possible.

Calibration
Parameter Structure
The Bulletin 900 Controller is correctly calibrated before it is shipped from the
factory, and normally need not be calibrated by the user. If, however, it must
be calibrated by the user, use the parameters for calibrating temperature input
and analog input.
Note: Rockwell Automation cannot ensure the results of calibration by the
user. Also, factory calibration data is overwritten with the users settings
and the factory default calibration settings cannot be returned after user
calibration.
To execute user calibration, enter the password 1201 at the Move to
Calibration function group parameter in the Advanced Setting function
group. The mode will be changed to the calibration mode, and adj will
be displayed.
The Move to Calibration function group parameter may not be
displayed when the user is doing the calibration for the first time. If this
happens, configured the Initial/Communications Protect parameter in
the Protect function group to 0 before moving to the Advanced Setting
function group.
The calibration mode is ended by turning the controller power OFF.
The parameter calibrations in the calibration mode are structured as
shown in Figure C.1.

Registering Calibration
Data
The new calibration data for each item is temporarily registered. It can be
officially registered as calibration data only when all items have been calibrated
to new values. Therefore, be sure to temporarily register all items when you
perform the calibration. When the data is registered, it is also recorded that
user calibration has been performed.
C-4
Calibration
Prepare separate measuring devices and equipment for calibration. For details
on how to handle measuring devices and equipment, refer to the respective
instruction manuals.
User Calibration
Calibrating Input
The 900-TC8, 900-TC16, and 900-TC32 are correctly calibrated before they
are shipped from the factory, and normally need not be calibrated by the user.
If, however, they must be calibrated by the user, use the parameters for
calibrating temperature input and analog input. Rockwell Automation,
however, cannot ensure the results of calibration by the user. Also, the factory
calibration data is overwritten with the latest user calibration results. The
default calibration settings CANNOT be restored after user calibration.
Perform user calibration with care.
When the user calibrates the Bulletin 900 Controller, the Input Type currently
selected in parameters is calibrated.
The following 26 Input Types can be calibrated:
Thermocouple: 16 types
Non-contact temperature sensor: 4 types
Analog input: 1 type
Platinum resistance thermometer: 5 types

Contact Output: Relay control outputs are often available in these contact
forms:
Form A Contact (SPST-NO): Single-pole, single-throw relays use the
normally open and common contacts to switch power. The contacts
close when the relay coil is energized and open when power is removed
from the coil.
Form B Contact (SPST-NC): Single-pole, single-throw relays use the
normally closed and common contacts. These contacts open when the
relay coil is energized and close when power is removed from the coil.
Form C Contact (SPDT): Single-pole, double-throw relays use the
normally open, normally closed, and common contacts. The relay can
be wired as a Form A or Form B contact.
Control Action: The control output response relative to the difference
between the process variable and the set point. For reverse action (usually
heating), as the process decreases below the set point, the output increases. For
direct action (usually cooling), as the process increases above the set point, the
output increases.
Control Mode: The type of control action used by the controller can include
ON/OFF, time-proportioning, PD, and PID. Other combinations and
refinements are used.
CSA: Canadian Standards Association is an independent testing laboratory
that establishes commercial and industrial standards, as well as tests products
and certifies them.
C-UL: This symbol appearing in literature and marked on products indicates
Canadian recognition of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. approval of particular
product classes. The C-UL approval may stand in place of Canadian Standards
Association certification. All references to C-UL are based on prior listing or
recognition from the original UL file.
Dead Band: The time period in a control system between a change in stimuli
and any measurable response in the controlled variable. In the deadband,
specific conditions can be placed on control output actions. Operators select
the dead band width. It is usually above the heating proportional band and
below the cooling proportional band.
Derivative: The rate of change in a process variable which forms the D in a
PID control algorithm. This control action anticipates the rate of change of
the process and compensates to minimize overshoot and undershoot.
Derivative control is an instantaneous change of the control output in the
same direction as the proportional error. This is caused by a change in the
process variable (PV) that decreases over the derivative time.

Loop Break Alarm: This alarm indicates a problem in the control loop, e.g., a
sensor has become disconnected or a problem has developed with the final
control element.
Manipulated Variable: The final output percentage (0100%) that will be
sent to a control element. This percentage can be related to a valve position, a
420 mA signal, or the amount of ON time from a pulsed control output.
Manipulated Variable Limiting: A control option used when the process
cannot handle the full output of the heater or final control device. To limit the
manipulated variable, the user programs the controller so that it never sends a
100% output to the final control element.
Manual Mode: A selectable mode that has no automatic control aspects. The
user sets the output levels.
Multiple Set Points: Two or more set points independent from each other
which can be configured in the temperature controller.
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA): The United
States organization that establishes specifications and ratings for electrical
components and apparatus. Conformance by manufacturers is voluntary.
However, Underwriters Laboratories will test products to NEMA ratings for
operating performance and enclosure ratings.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): Formerly the
National Bureau of Standards, this United States agency is responsible for
establishing scientific and technical standards.
NEMA 4X: This enclosure rating specification certifies that a controllers
front panel resists water washdown and is corrosion-resistant in indoor usage.
Normal Action: A control action which will increase the control output if the
process value is higher than the set point. This action is suitable for a cooling
system.
Offset: A controlled deviation (the difference in temperature between the set
point and the actual process temperature) remaining after a controlled system
reaches its steady state. The offset (droop) is created by the correlation
between the thermal capacity of the controlled system and the capacity of
heating equipment.
ON/OFF Control Action: A control action which turns the output fully on
until the set point is reached, and then turns off. Also called two-position
control action.
Overshoot: The number of degrees by which a process exceeds the set point
temperature.
